Phase One: Booking
After getting in touch, we will put together a proposal for you with 1-3 packages, depending on your budget, style, and needs. We welcome you to book a complimentary consultation call with us so that you can have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you'd like.
We require a signed contract and 50% retainer before any design work can begin. As we book up to a year in advance, we recommend booking as soon as your invited guest count and wedding date is confirmed, in order to secure availability in our design schedule.
Phase Two: Content (1 week)
After your order is booked, we will ask you for your general style and color palette (either via email or a phone consultation), supply you with any relevant content forms, and a general timeline for us to follow. For example:
September 1: Content Due
September 7: Initial Proof
September 7-30: Design Revisions
October 1: Final Approval + Invoice Due
October 21: Package Shipped
Phase Three: Proofing (2-3 weeks)
After receiving all of the information we need, we will begin work on your first proof, which is a digital mock-up of your design, including all of your wording, production specifications, sizes, etc.
You will be able to make as many changes as you need to your wording and color palette - whether that includes any of the colors in our Customization Library, or we source something especially for you.
a deeper look into our proofing process
1. Initial Design Proof
After receiving your information, we create your wording according to etiquette guidelines and the formality of your event. We also curate a selection of colors to coordinate. Please allow 1 week to receive your initial proof.
2. Revisions
After viewing your initial design proof, you'll have the opportunity to make as many wording and color changes as you'd like. Each revision can take 2-3 business days from the time we receive your feedback.
3. Upgrades
At any point during the design process, and before your design is approved, we allow you to increase your quantity and choose any embellishments or upgrades (such as wax seals, double-thick paper, foil printing, etc.).
4. Postage
If ordering save-the-dates or invitation suites, we'll estimate the amount of postage you'll need, and provide you with options. This way, we can ensure that all of of your pieces are assembled and mail-ready.
5. Approval + Final Invoice
This is your opportunity to give everything a final look-over and let us know that we can proceed with production. At this point, we would also ask for your final address spreadsheet.
Phase Four: Production + Assembly (2-4 weeks)
After approving your final design, we send everything into production.
We manage the printing and assembly of all of your pieces, including any response card numbering, the sealing of your envelopes, and the final weighing of your suite at the post office to ensure the right amount of postage.
Your pieces arrive to you ready for mailing, or we offer complementary mailing services for orders over $2500.
